I just rewatched all of FLCL in a marathon last night.

 

I totally love the soundtrack.
This show has so many trippy elements. And it looks almost like Bob Clampett and Yoshiyuki Sadamoto had a love child.

FLCL is amazing. One of the best shows ever. Have you seen Dead Leaves or Gunbuster 2? You may want to check those out...

Once Upon a Time in the West is amazing. One of the best films ever, and definitely my favorite western ever.

I re-watched Gozu. Meh. 5/10.

Monster Squad is amazing too. Glad to see people watching great shit lately! I like that director's film Night of the Creeps a whole lot.

I just got back from a screening earlier of the film FRACTURE (
) which is a film my friend and bandmate Kyle made and I act in.. it's an art film, similiar to Begotten and Eraserhead and Der Goldem and so on and so forth, with music by Robe. We had a big screening and played a show and stuff... yay.

I reccomend this for fans of anything arty, obscure, surreal, druggy, whatever:

It's nothing but fucked-up random images and just.. uh.. insanity. You can put any music over top of it and it's great.

I dnt think CREEPS is on DVD yet. It took MONSTER SQUAD forever, but I had the VHS. Love NIGHT OF THE CREEPS though! Dekker (that's the directors name right?) is awesome.

atsonicpark 10.28.2008 07:14 AM

Yeah, I think it's Fred Dekker.

I think he did Robocop 3 and then disappeared off the planet..

I didnt know about that Fulci on Troma, son. What's the plot?

MellySingsDoom 10.28.2008 11:44 AM

noisereductions - If you've sat through/suffered Enzo G Castellari's "Bronx Warriors", then that pretty much the same thing.

noisereductions 10.28.2008 12:26 PM

I havent... is it like The Warriors?

davenotdead 10.28.2008 04:12 PM

More like a poor man's version of Mad Max, but set in a "major American city". Pretty cheesy, quite fun, but really not very good at all.

Most dissapointing movie.. I remembered it being so amazing!! But I rewatched years later (recently) and was not too thrilled (the warriors)

gotta love hal hartley's dialogue-- so artificial & theatrical, its fucking cool!

plus other tricks he's got-- the way he directs his actresses-- brilliant.

i love trust, i've seen it a few times. what didn't you like about it? maybe hal hartley is not your style.

in this one here, that chick in the picture is dancing to kool thing-- ha ha ha. seriously. it's a funny & bizarre scene. there's also some yo la tengo on the sountrack. simple man is good, the unbelievable truth is good, they are all good (to my taste)-- some are superior to others but i generally like his stuff very much. in simple men, the last final shot is fucking perfect. watch it & see if you like.

if you wanna try a different flavor of hal hartley, start with henry fool and then follow with fay grim (it's a sequel). still weird, stylized dialogue, but different characters & stories.
